20 Excellent Rain Cheating Jackets That’ll Make This Wet Week Better

Great news, the weather's going to be rubbish all week. We might not be able to clap our hands and make the sun come out but we can make sure you're prepared for the dismal commute and inevitable drizzle by pointing you in the direction of these rainproof and stylish jackets.

If you wear the same jacket whether it's January or June (come on, would you really call this a summer?) then this is one for you. It's suitably padded to keep you warm during the winter months, but won't swamp you in the (mildly warmer) summer.

Sleek and smooth, this quilted jacket has all the technology you need to make sure it keeps you warm when running for the bus, and cool when it's full yet again, the bus driver shouts at you and you end up having to walk the whole way to work.

Without looking too much like you're trying to be Jim Carrey in The Mask, this bright yellow raincoat will add a splash of colour to your day. Hey, we'll take anything we can to make the commute a bit less grim.

When you just want to wrap up warm without the risk of any wind chilling your bones, you need a handy parka like this, with its all-encompassing hood and numerous zips and buttons to protect you from the outside world.

Rainproof, fuss-free and with a giant hood to protect your barnet from the drizzle, this is a fail-safe jacket for when you just want to put your head down and get through the weather, strikes, and multiple other obstacles London puts in your way.

This is exactly the sort of jacket you want when it's raining cats and dogs and your usual hoodie won't quite cut it. You can get this one as sopping wet as you like, and it'll always bounce back into its polka dot best.

For the days when the rain threatens to drench everything from your shirt to your belt, you need a mighty defensive parka just like this one to make sure you're still in one piece by the time you get to your desk.

Metallic jackets are always a winner, rain or shine - and this one has a faux fur collar, which might seem a bit risky but, god damn it's comfortable. Like the embrace of a loved one, you can also use it as a sound cancelling device when the rowdy commute gets too much.

We've all been there: finally daring to wear our real leather jacket, only for it to pour with rain and ruin our prized possession forever. Why not opt for a faux leather jacket? They're equally stylish, but not as likely to ruin your day if they get wet in the joys of the British summer.
